they seem to be using ‘bio-engendered mice’ as a scare phrase
Did you read the article? It says what they were bio-engineered for.
Wang Zhaolin, a representative of the company operating the lab, Prestige Biotech, told investigators that the mice inside the warehouse had been genetically engineered to catch and spread the COVID-19 virus, according to The San Joaquin Valley Sun.
Here is my issue: they seem to be using ‘bio-engendered mice’ as a scare phrase. Nearly all mice in a research facility will be, everywhere.
It’ve been weirder had they NOT been genetically modified.
I heard the mice were dosed with dihydrogen-oxide to make them more infectious!

Yeah wild-type mice are present in labs as controls, but by far fewer in number to the modified organisms, apparently
